Dr. Kristi Funk Talks Angelina Jolie’s Double Mastectomy Decision

Funk discussed for the first time Jolie’s brave decision to have a double mastectomy after learning she carried the BRCA1 gene.

Dr. Funk told Mario, “She didn't have it right away, but probably knew with her family history that it was a choice she would eventually make. Her decision was not made overnight. It wasn't based in fear.”

How is Angelina doing now? Dr. Funk smiled, “Perfect!”
